So as expected, the Lions were not done making moves so there are people on the final roster that weren't in camp when I made my prediction. Here's how mine fared against the actual roster (New players in bold):
Quarterback
- Predicted: D. Culpepper, M. Stafford, D. Stanton
- Actual: Same
Running Back
- Predicted: K. Smith, M. Morris, A. Brown
- Actual: Same
Fullback
-Predicted: Jerome Felton, Terrelle Smith
- Actual: Same
Wide Receiver
- Predicted: C. Johnson, B. Johnson, D. Northcut, D. Williams, D. Looker
- Actual: C. Johnson, B. Johnson, D. Northcut, D. Williams, Y. Figurs
- Analysis: Was shocked when both Looker and Standeford were cut.
Tight End
- Predicted: B. Pettigrew, D. Gronkowski, W. Heller
- Actual: Pettigrew, Heller, Fitzsimmons
- Analysis: thought they'd keep Gronk because he wouldn't get passed by other teams...we barely got him back.
Offensive Tackle
- Predicted: J. Backus, G. Cherilus, J. Jansen, E. Salaam
- Actual: Same
Offensive Guard
- Predicted: S. Peterman, D. Loper, M. Ramierez
- Actual: Same
Center
- Predicted: D. Raiola, D. Gerberry
- Actual: Raiola, Gandy
- Analysis: Gerberry is bound for the practice squad and Gandy is more versitile
Defensive Tackle
- Predicted: G. Jackson, C. Darby, S. Hill, L. Cohen, A. Fluellen
- Actual: Jackson, Cohen, Hill, Harris
- Analysis: Fluellen was kept but as an end and can still move inside
Defensive End
- Predicted: D. White, C. Avril, J. Hunter, I. Alama-Francis
- Actual: White, Avril, Hunter, Fluellen, Copeland Bryan
- Analysis: Goodbye IAF, hello Bryan!
Linebacker
- Predicted: E. Sims, L. Foote, J. Peterson, D. Levy, J. Dizon, Z. Follett, D. Bing
- Actual: Sims, Foote, Peterson, Levy, Dizon, Bing
- Analysis: The Special Teams beast Follett was relagated to the Practice Squad...maybe next year.
Cornerback
- Predicted: P. Buchannon, A. Henry, W. James, E. King, K. Smith
- Actual: Buchannon, Henry, James, King, Kevin Hobbs, Marcus McCauley
- Analysis: Again...people who I did not know were options...but 6 CB? Obviously they know this is a weak position.
Safety
- Predicted: L. Delmas, K. Pearson, M. Manuel, S. Schweigert
- Actual: Delmas, Pearson, Manuel, Ko Simpson
- Analysis: Another newbie slated to start though
Kicker
- Predicted: J. Hanson
- Actual: Same
Punter
- Predicted: N. Harris
- Actual: Same
Long-Snapper
- Predicted: D. Mulbach
- Actual: Same
Overall, not too shabby, only really missed on DT and TE.
